[The RGers from before are a chief cause for concern. Namely, whatever's tormenting them has not gone away, and their mental anguish has started to attract noise to them. And yet, as their moods have gone south from possession, they don't look lost like before. It's as though through the despair, they've found a certain clarity... one that shows when they look out at the rest of the world.

Yet, a couple of them are okay? Well, it seems that one was not persuaded to be interested in the trends, and the other decided to leave the mall early for some reason. Since they're okay, hopefully you won't have to worry about them.]

Comments

[vexed_snake]

[Hello, Player. Asakura studies the situation a bit before moving in. His immediate first response, to attack the other guy outright, isn't allowed. A pity.

He can, however, provide a bit of a distraction. Asakura is now lounging on a nearby bench, smirking as Venosnaker, a giant purple cobra, emerges from the reflective surface of a nearby shop window. The snake isn't doing anything other than charging straight out the window at Sasuke and delivering a very loud hiss. The snake will stop short of actually coming into contact with Sasuke, but will rear up, flare its hood, and look like all sorts of bad news.]

[shinbunshinobi]

Hey, easy there!

[Sasuke slowly starts to back away, ready to activate Blink Step if need be. What kind of Noise is that?! He hasn't seen it before.]

[vexed_snake]

[Sasuke just might hear the sound of laughter coming from the bench where Asakura is watching the show. He's one amused Reaper.

Venosnaker's moving to try to drive Sasuke away from the affected RGers and the Noise. To emphasize that point, he'll spit a bit of venom. It's more of a warning shot and a definite miss, but the ground the venom hit isn't looking so good. Concrete should not be bubbling and dissolving like that.]

[shinbunshinobi]

[Sasuke looks at the spot where the venom lands. That effected the RG. Noise can't do that, could they? He notices the Reaper on the bench, laughing.]

Someone is enjoying the show, or so it looks like.

[vexed_snake]

[At being noticed, Asakura stands up, though his posture is still rather relaxed. His grin widens.]

Most entertained I've been since I died.

[shinbunshinobi]

[Considering that Sasuke hasn't seen him before, he wonders if that wasn't too long ago. Or he just happened not to meet this Reaper.]

Well, if you don't mind, Mr. Reaper, I've got an appointment with someone in there. I'm sorry, but please call off your snake.

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura appears to contemplate this for a few moments. Venosnaker has returned to its master's heel, but still has a nasty gleam in its eye.]

Tch, you're no fun...you don't like the snake?

[For a moment, it looks as though Asakura's going to let Sasuke go. The snake retreats into a nearby window.

...but then, from another window, a bipedal armored gray rhinoceros charges out and directly at Sasuke.]

[shinbunshinobi]

[God damn it! A Blink Step keeps him from being flattened on the pavement, and once the rhinoceros is behind him, Sasuke charges forward with his lance-like Go 2 Hell pin.]

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura's quite interested at the use of that pin. Not fighting the other directly like this? It would be killing him were he not already dead. How vexing.

The rhinoceros stops its charge now that Sasuke is no longer in front of it, but it's turning to meet Sasuke's charge with that lance. It came out of the reflective surface that was that large window, and driving it back in there is possible.

And speaking of rhinoceroses, Asakura decides to make things a bit more interesting by using a pin to summon Rhino Noise to charge at Sasuke from behind. Judging from the sound of his laughter, he's still highly amused.]

[shinbunshinobi]

[Sasuke sees the difference between the two rhinos. One is obviously a Noise. The other is more like that snake... and not a Noise. Damn, does that mean he'll have problems using his pins against them? Whether or not his pin can do damage on that other rhino, his pin will send him behind it again and avoid the horn.]

[He takes out the Rhino Noise first, knowing that he can defeat that with his pins, and keeps his eye out for the other. What is he going to do? Is he going to have to make a break for it?]

[vexed_snake]

[Asakura would very much like Sasuke to make a break for it; although he is technically winning, he's still becoming rather annoyed with things. He hates watching--getting involved personally would be much more to his liking. He'd be rather easily provoked into slipping up somehow.

The rhino that is not Noise stops suddenly upon seeing no further target to charge at. It's looking around for Sasuke again and is clearly not too bright.]

[shinbunshinobi]

[Sasuke eyes the mass of Noise swarming the RGer and frowns. This guy is trouble, and even if that rhino seems pretty stupid, there's no telling what that thing can do to a Player like him. He's not a Reaper to handle solo. That RGer will have to deal alone for now.]

It's been fun, but I have to get going now.

[No walls, a charged Blink Step, and a clueless rhino help Sasuke make a quick getaway.]
